Starting at age 22 with a MBA in Finance seems like a big head start. But now what? I've only had one goal in life: graduate from college, and now I've done it. I needed a new goal. This blog started with a goal: make $1 million by 30. But after a year, I realize I need to do more with my life and more with my knowledge of finance.

Sunday, September 9, 2007

After last week's networth update, I was pondering why I had managed to save nothing last month, and then it hit me. I had waited one day too long to check my bank account, so my rent for this month had been sent out my electronic payment already!

So last month, I actually did save $1000, but it was hard to see it, since I haven't been counting rent paid as an asset. Oh well.

This month I am working hard on keeping my expenses down, and at the very least, within budget. I started this process by writing off $100 of my discretionary budget this month to offset the $520 I have spent over budget this year.

About Me

I am 24, and graduated with a MBA in Finance from a top 30 business school in March 2007. I work for a large insurance company in a 3-year finance management rotation program.. Even though I work in finance, applying my knowledge to my own finances will be a journey. Along the way, I hope I can help others along who are facing similar situations.
